Los Angeles

The car pickup was slow, making customers wait for almost an hour; the car was not in good condition, as soon as we hit the highway, it warned us that a tire pressure was low, making us nervous throughout; contacting the rental car customer service to return the car, we were told they could only try to apply, with no guarantee of success; reluctantly, we had to visit a repair shop the next day to check if the tire needed repair or the car needed replacement. Initially, a repair shop employee checked the tire and suggested we change the car due to poor tire condition. Since the Los Angeles airport store was too far, we tried the Pasadena store to see if we could swap cars. However, they told us they had no available cars and found no issues with the tire after their inspection, leaving us confused. Finally, to avoid trouble, we decided to use the car temporarily but had to abandon our plan to drive to San Francisco and only explored Los Angeles and nearby areas for immediate assistance, if needed. Luckily, no major issues occurred in the following days.

I repeatedly emphasized that I didn't want any additional services, but they still charged nearly 300 USD when I returned the car, saying it was for roadside assistance and an extra tank of gas. I'm certain I didn't request those services, and I even asked during the rental process if there would be any additional fees besides the upgrade fee and was told NO. However, they charged me upon return, and there was no one to reason with. I'm puzzled as to why these charges weren't deducted when I picked up the car but only when I returned it. It's clear they are taking advantage of the fact that you might not read the contract carefully, which is very frustrating.

Satisfied

Customer service was very efficient and exceptionally friendly, making me feel very welcomed in a foreign country.

The attitude is good; they have a lot of work to do.
